So many people and articles talking about New Years\u2019 resolutions. It\u2019s a veritable orgy of junk content all basically saying the same thing: start small, pick one thing, then crush it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As if it\u2019s that simple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In 2018 I went through a bout of what I would consider \u201cmild\u201d depression. Mild because I have much compassion for those that deal with full-on depression. It\u2019s rough. I\u2019m thankful and grateful that I\u2019ve had the good fortune to not experience such pain. When I went through my episode, I had a pretty dramatic realization: motivation has nothing to do with external influences. I simply did not care. About anything. I didn\u2019t even have the motivation to get motivated. I didn\u2019t want to be motivated. I wanted to be a slug.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
